The ADF is a federation of 26 professional associations that cover the full range of the dental profession.
It provides dentists with a wide range of services, including continuing professional education programmes, publications to keep abreast of new technologies and improve the work environment, product certification, and a bibliographic database. It also represents the French dental profession on an international level. Each year, the ADF organises an Annual Dental Meeting, a major event combining a five-day Conference and a four-day International Exhibition.
